Getting letters and postcards in the mail is a joy! When I was a kid, I even loved getting junk mail! Years ago, a friend told me that only handwritten could suffice for thank you notes, never email. I try to follow her advice as often as I can.How about you? Do you write and/or receive handwritten mail?
Fellow blogger Nadya Irsalina inspires me to take it to a new level…
I’ve always been interested to send letters since I was a kid. The curiousity grew from seeing rubik sabahat pena (penpals) on Bobo, a kid’s magazine that my mother bought for me. But I had to wait until I was in junior high school to actually start sending letters. I don’t know about you but finding a new letter on the mailbox is like a nice little surprise for me. Nothing beats the thrill of opening the mailbox and finding a letter, written and addressed just for me. I still remember when my dad’s friend sent a postcard from LA and I was so excited to read it and removed the stamp. I used to collect it, even though I wasn’t really a philately.

In one of the homes I lived in as a child, the previous family had left a box of post cards they received from friends on their tours of Europe and other places. They were kept in my walk-in closet and I would sit in there and read them and be a part of trips that were taken in the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. I agree with you, the written word is a treasure trove!

I love to give and receive postcards and letters too. My most precious letter is from my Dad who passed away 23 years ago. The post crossing sounds a great idea. I never heard of it before. I sometimes do Post Secret. I make a nice postcard with a secret that only I know. anonymously and send it to Frank Warren and he puts the best ones on the Post Secret site. I would send you a card or letter if you like 😁

Just let me know when you are settled and then PM your address if you would still like a letter or postcard. You might end up with so many offers you can’t manage it 😀

I haven’t written a post card in a while unless you count filling out those restaurant postcards. Also, I have a scrapbook of post cards where my grandparents were and/or visited.

Hubby does handwritten letters to his brother in law. Each month one goes out. Brother in law answers them on the computer, but hubby writes him a letter each month.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. ♥
